The NBA 2K series continues its 5-year reign as king of the court with multiple solo and multiplayer modes along with improved offensive and defensive controls.

Get the ball to your best shot with on-the-fly sets whether you call for the specific situation in the control menu or by using the "Get Open" button.
Lock-On D lets you play tighter defense and run advanced defensive sets while trying to force a turnover. Take control of your team by assigning player roles and play time while keeping up team morale or just hoop it up with the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest with intuitive controls along with movable props to add that extra bit of style. You can also take it to the street with NBA Blacktop for a little street ball or three-point shoot-out.
The action on the court is brought to life with a completely revamped graphics and animation system that provides more realistic dribbling, dekes, finger rolls, dunks and jump shots. Each player's shooting ability has been rated to reflect their accuracy shooting on the move, while in traffic or from a set position to emulate the original player's preferences. Real-life physics causes players plant their feet before executing moves and the improved AI even extends to the sidelines as players and officials will react to collisions and near-misses as the action takes players out-of-bounds. Go online and join leagues – including those offering fantasy drafts. Up to 8 players can team up for simultaneous play. Challenge opponents to slam dunk competitions, create tournaments or go the distance and play out a season.
